Can I file a lawsuit against school for violation of right to due process?

I am 1 class away from graduation when a student reported me to the school that I had harrassed him. When they investigated me, the dean of the school threatened me that if i do not agree with the allegations then they will tell the studen to involve police. and that its added stress to me when i should be focusing on my studies. They also printed out a convicted sex offender page showed it to me and told me that that was going to be me. The notetaker also jumped in and said "I really blieved this happened the way it was described." I followed the grievance procedure of the school to present my case but only got a 4 minute phone call from the "grievance chairperson" and then they dileberated.

I got expelled. In the original dismissal letter, it said I had no right to any other proceedings. And denied me of the appeal process when I asked the dean. I read the student handbook and contacted the school ombudsman on what the next process is and said I had to follow the grievance procedure.

I am attaching a link from a question answered yesterday by a California attorney Christine McCall. Her answer was in response to a student accused of plagiarism--but I believe the bulk of her answer applies to your situation as well in particular because you believe your due process rights have been violated. http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/advice-needed-potential-legal-action-on-plagiarism-1169507.html?ref=answer_question_serp_title_1
If after reading Attorney McCall's excellent discussion of the issues facing students accused of violating school policies, you still feel like you have a due process claim, contact an education attorney in our area and have a discussion about your suit, and your possible need for a criminal defense attorney as well.
